  2. ICU admissions not fully vaxed (in the 8 weeks up to 2021-11-20): 58.9%

    So out of the 104 in ICU 61 of those are not fully vaxed. Any Idea of what the percentage of the population (over 12 I’m not sure what age limit is on the vaccine) not fully vaxed? Making an assumption here but guessing there are very few under 12s in the ICU. Really shows that the vaccine works and maybe if those in the minority got vaxed then we could have a someway more normal Christmas

  3. I fail to see how these numbers benefit anyone. They should be available to the public but they shouldn’t still be newsworthy headlines every day. They achieve nothing but to intstil fear.

  4. 5 confirmed cases in my youngests creche pod in two days and we got notification of one confirmed case in my eldests school class this afternoon. Negative antigen tests but we’ve all booked in for pcrs tomorrow. Despite difficulties with my wife and I working we’re not sending them in to either for the rest of the week. I really hope we can dodge this shit for Christmas.
